Fully agree w @emptywheel's take: Reasons why Dems have been fucking stupid on the Steele Dossier, a long essay https://www.emptywheel.net/2017/10/25/democrats-continue-to-score-massive-own-goals-with-steele-dossier/ …pic.twitter.com/nlVVPbR8EI

How else to read “that was the standard they adopted at the time?” And for sure Fleischer, whose attack she credits, is equating them.
Hi. Are you saying I should not take the standard Dems adopted as the standard Dems adopted? I should make something else up?

-
I’m saying I don’t see how Elias/Clinton violated that standard. Is Fusion GPS a hostile foreign power with interest in shaping US policy?
-
Um Sorry. You're confused. Where did Fusion get the info from? Where did Veselnitskaya get her info from? Start there.
-
I’ll cop to being confused. Is there any hint of an angle on Steele’s part, how would that even work given he never dealt directly w/client?
-
What do you mean by "angle"? He was paid to find dirt on Trump. Is that an angle?
-
No, Steele’s involvement seems straightforward and above board. But for Veselnitskaya Trump wouldn’t have been the client, but the product.
-
Steele wasn't paid to exchange dirt, just like Veselnitskaya was? Again, where did the dirt come from? Say it.
-
Are you saying you think Veselnitskaya was seeking Trump as a *client*? Because that is not at all how I read that story.
-
Veselnitskaya was seeking exchange of RU intel sourced info for something else. So was Steele. Steele is only one we know who got his goal
